Translation
(THE THREE RARE THINGS)
He who pleases his father with his good behavior is a true son! She who wishes for the good of her husband alone is a true wife. He is a true friend who has the same affection whether in difficult times or prosperous times. Only those who have earned merits, get these three! ॥ 59 ॥
